2 Samuel 8
1 Beberapa waktu kemudian Raja Daud menyerang orang Filistin lagi. Ia mengalahkan mereka dan merebut tanah mereka.
Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them. And David took the bridle of tribute from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Daud juga mengalahkan orang Moab. Disuruhnya mereka berbaring di tanah, lalu dibunuhnya dua orang di antara tiap tiga orang. Jadi, orang Moab takluk kepada Daud dan membayar upeti kepadanya.
And he struck Moab, and he measured them with a line, leveling them to the ground. Now he measured with two lines, one to kill, and one to keep alive. And Moab was made to serve David under tribute.
3 Selanjutnya Daud mengalahkan Raja Hadadezer anak Rehob yang memerintah di Zoba, yaitu sebuah kerajaan dekat Damsyik. Pada waktu itu Hadadezer sedang dalam perjalanan hendak memulihkan kekuasaannya atas wilayah di dekat hulu Sungai Efrat.
And David struck Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, when he set out to rule over the river Euphrates.
4 Daud menawan 1.700 orang tentara berkuda dan 20.000 orang tentara berjalan kaki. Ia melumpuhkan semua kuda, kecuali sebagian, cukup untuk seratus kereta perang.
And from his troops, David seized one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And he cut the sinew of the leg in all the chariot horses. But he left aside enough of them for one hundred chariots.
5 Orang Siria dari Damsyik mengirim tentara untuk menolong Raja Hadadezer. Tetapi Daud mengalahkan mereka dan menewaskan 22.000 orang dari mereka.
And the Syrians of Damascus arrived, so that they might bring reinforcements to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And David struck down twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.
6 Kemudian Daud mendirikan perkemahan-perkemahan militer dalam wilayah mereka, dan mereka takluk serta membayar upeti kepadanya. TUHAN memberikan kemenangan kepada Daud di mana pun ia berperang.
And David positioned a garrison in Syria of Damascus. And Syria served David under tribute. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.
7 Tameng-tameng emas yang dipakai oleh tentara Hadadezer dirampas oleh Daud dan dibawa ke Yerusalem.
And David took the armbands of gold, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Selain itu Daud juga mengambil perunggu banyak sekali dari Betah dan Berotai, kota-kota yang dahulu dikuasai oleh Hadadezer.
And from Betah and Beeroth, cities of Hadadezer, king David took an exceedingly great amount of brass.
9 Raja Tou dari Hamat mendengar bahwa Daud telah mengalahkan seluruh tentara Hadadezer.
Then Toi, the king of Hamath, heard that David had struck down the entire strength of Hadadezer.
10 Maka ia mengutus Yoram putranya untuk menyampaikan salam kepada Raja Daud dan mengucapkan selamat atas kemenangannya itu, sebab Hadadezer sudah sering berperang dengan Tou. Yoram datang kepada Daud dengan membawa banyak hadiah dari emas, perak dan perunggu.
And so, Toi sent his son Joram to king David, so that he might greet him with congratulations, and give thanks, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had struck him down. For indeed, Toi was the enemy of Hadadezer. And in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass.
11 Raja Daud mempersembahkan semua hadiah itu kepada TUHAN untuk dipergunakan dalam upacara ibadat. Demikian juga dilakukannya dengan barang-barang emas dan perak yang telah dirampasnya dari Hadadezer dan bangsa-bangsa yang dikalahkannya, yaitu bangsa Edom, Moab, Amon, Filistin dan Amalek.
And king David also sanctified these things to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the peoples whom he had subdued:
from Syria, and Moab, and the sons Ammon, and the Philistines, and Amalek, and from the best spoils of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
13 Nama Daud menjadi lebih termasyhur lagi ketika ia kembali setelah menewaskan 18.000 orang Edom di Lembah Asin.
David also made a name for himself when he returned from seizing Syria, in the Valley of the Salt Pits, having cut down eighteen thousand.
14 Ia mendirikan perkemahan-perkemahan militer di seluruh Edom, dan orang-orang Edom itu takluk kepadanya. TUHAN memberikan kemenangan kepada Daud di mana pun ia berperang.
And he positioned guards in Edom, and he stationed a garrison. And all of Edom was made to serve David. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.
15 Demikianlah Daud memerintah seluruh Israel dan menjaga agar rakyatnya selalu diperlakukan dengan adil dan baik.
And David reigned over all of Israel. And David accomplished judgment and justice with all his people.
16 Inilah pejabat-pejabat tinggi yang diangkat oleh Daud: Panglima angkatan bersenjata: Yoab anak Zeruya; Sekretaris istana: Yosafat anak Ahilud; Imam-imam: Zadok anak Ahitub, dan Ahimelekh anak Abyatar; Sekretaris negara: Seraya
Now Joab, the son Zeruiah, was over the army. And Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.
And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Seraiah was the scribe.
18 Kepala pengawal pribadi raja: Benaya anak Yoyada; Imam-imam di istana: putra-putra Daud.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were priests.
